Shiro Kano: Faithfulness at Any Price by Merritt Nielson

Originally told in 1948 by Alice Spangenberg, the story of Shiro Kano is a compelling call to faithfulness at any price. It is a timely reminder that in every generation, God needs men and women who will follow His call and who will faithfully render their service for the sake of the many who do not yet know Christ.

Not all stories turn out as we would expect or hope. But God is the Author and Finisher of faith, and the end of this story is not yet fully known. This book should draw a simple prayer: “Lord, give me such a faith in and for my generation.”

Africa Nazarene University is a story of transformation led by an innovative group of pioneers. Debbie Salter Goodwin immerses you in their spirit and their faith. Whether administrator, faculty, or student, all share the same passion: God wants to transform lives and can use them to do it.

The ANU community believes that the title of this book is more prayer than claim. As you read their story, make it your prayer as well. Join this transformational mission, believing that what God begins in your life will transform your world, too.

The story of Leighton Tracy, pioneer missionary to India, was originally told by his daughter Olive Tracy. Tracy Sahib, Servant of Christ in India is a testimony to God’s faithfulness to those called to go to the ends of the earth. Franklin Cook grew up in India and shares keen insights into the sub-Continent, its cultures, and people.

Catch a glimpse into the challenging context into which Tracy stepped and discover what has been accomplished there since this book was first released in 1954.

Maps Beyond Geography by Stéphane Tibi

Maps are about more than finding your way through geographical
obstacles and terrains. StudyMaps is a new way of looking at both faith
and scripture, and of engaging and strengthening the memory to prompt us
to evangelism, discipleship, and maturity.

A story of incredible resilience and passionate faith in a country
not her own, Louise Robinson Chapman’s Africa, O Africa is a reminder
that God calls and sends people who are willing to say ‘Yes’ to His
will. This updated edition, by Chuck and Doris Gailey, retired
missionaries to Africa, brings the reader the voice of Dr. Chapman and
picks up the story since the book was first released in 1945.
